How Can I Make Multiple Skins/Themes

[A Former User]

@iamlamprey Can I get archive file? snippet is not opening.

@Tania-Mosh Weird, it works on my end. I'll post the code because I never ended up saving the archive.

It just adds a switch statement and calls Panel1.repaint(); to re-colour the panel.

Content.makeFrontInterface(500, 400);
const var laf  = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();
var colour1 = 0X30000000;
var colour2 = 0x96323131;
const var ComboBox1 = Content.getComponent("ComboBox1");


laf.registerFunction("drawToggleButton",function (g,obj)
{
   //g.setColour(obj.bgColour);
   g.setGradientFill([obj.itemColour,0,30,obj.itemColour2,0,2]);
   g.fillRoundedRectangle(obj.area, 15);
   g.setColour(Colours.black);
   g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, obj.area, "centred");
}
);

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox",function (g,obj)
{
   // g.setColour(obj.bgColour);
    g.setGradientFill([obj.itemColour,0,30,obj.itemColour2,0,2]);
    g.fillRoundedRectangle(obj.area,10.0);
    g.setColour(Colours.black);
    g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, obj.area, "centred");
});

laf.registerFunction("drawPopupMenuBackground",function (g,obj)
{
 
   g.fillAll(0xD7000000);
} 
);
const var Panel1 = Content.getComponent("Panel1");

Panel1.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
	g.fillAll(0xBA323131);
	g.setGradientFill([colour1,10,30,colour2,10,15]);
	g.fillRoundedRectangle([4,0,this.getWidth()-8,this.getHeight()-120], 10.0);
	g.setColour(0xFF171717);
	g.drawRect([0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight()], 4.0);
});


inline function onComboBox1Control(component, value)
{
    switch (value)
    {
        case 1:
            colour1 = 0X30000000;
            colour2 = 0x96323131;
            
        case 2: 
            colour1 = 0xFFCF8B43;
            colour2 = 0xFF93611A;
            
        case 3:
            colour1 = 0xFFD9D9D9;
            colour2 = 0xFF464646;
    };
	Panel1.repaint();
};

Content.getComponent("ComboBox1").setControlCallback(onComboBox1Control);

The snippet opens for me. I don't use LAF for customizing my interface (at least I haven't yet) I use panels, including for combo boxes, I just make them transparent and draw the design I want on the panel. I thought I'd made a video about this but I can't find it so I guess I haven't got around to it yet.

@d-healey I just vibe with my png and knobman files :(

I enjoy when people ask questions here cause it's like little homework snippets for me to get better at HISE

Cheers !!

Hi! Strange man but Hise on my mac doesnt see the ".createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel()" function , it is not in the api. But my version of Hise is the current so I dont know why there are some mismatches...Can someone help me out?

[d.healey]

@nesta99 How many copies of the HISE source code do you have on your system?

[Sawer]

@d-healey Just One

[d.healey]

@nesta99 Are you using git to manage versions?

[Sawer]

@d-healey no to be honest, just went there before to look for some updates but nothing... maybe I'm looking at the wrong place... can you send me the link kindly?

@d-healey Thanks Man!

is it possible that the vst crash because it has too large images?
